SEATTLE — Police officers in Newark, Calif., found a pregnant German shepherd tied to a park bench — the abandoned dog was also giving birth. One of the puppies didn’t survive, and the pregnant animal was attempting to bury it while still tied to the bench. Officers then put the dog in their patrol car and took the dog to a nearby veterinarian where nine more puppies were delivered; two did not survive.

We love our GSD, and are appalled at Bristol's owners. shepherds are so loyal. The owners should be penalized for abandoning the dog. Must be a backyard breeder wanting the money. I am so glad we deal with reputable breeders.
